Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Smoothie Flats in the extra-light 38–98 gauge pair flatwound construction with a precision-polished surface for notably smooth movement under the fretting hand. The cobalt-alloy ribbon winding and low-tension design keep the set flexible through extended playing, while its flatwound feel suits bassists who want less resistance when shifting around the neck. Choose this gauge when an extra-light Smoothie Flats set is the intended setup.
